Hello,

I've been have some slowdown issues with a couple games, and I think the problem is with the internal frame limiter. For the life of me, I can't make the emulator use the plugin limiter. Whenever I set the frame rate limit in the graphics plugin, and turn off the internal one with F4, fraps always measures 70 fps, which is making games too fast. I'm running a gtx 280 and core i7 920 @ 3.3 GHZ

This is what I'm using.

Haha, I can effectively limit the framerate perfectly with no slowdowns whatsoever by telling fraps to record at 30 fps, and disabling the ePSXe frame limiter. Is there a way to tell fraps to record without actually recording anything?

Edit: This unorthodox method of controlling the framerate is working for every single game I've had slowdown issues with. This is really funny for some reason.
